The Blue Ribbon analysis of both USF and Loyola Marymount pick them at the bottom of their conferences, so you would think that these are games we should win. Both teams are very big with a 7'2" center on USF and a 7'3" center on Loyola and surrounded by other bigs. It appears our outside game is going to have to be working to pull off the sweep.
Out of curiosity, where does blue ribbon project Ohio in the MAC?
I would guess middle of the pack at best ....
Wish I had my Blue Ribbon handy, but it's on the coffee table at home. I think it was similar to the votes in the media.
On the actual game with USF, they're in rebuild mode with Brian Gregory, who miraculously got this job after being just OK at Ga Tech.

As a team after two games, they're shooting 54% from the line. Their two leading scorers in that game are both grad transfers it appears (TJ Lang, LaQuincy Rideau). Leading scorer off the bench is a transfer as well (Mayan Kiir).
